Create a link on your site to yourdomain.com/book-review/ or create a page using one of the shortcodes and add that page to your navigation.

Thank you for answering! I tried the short codes before. But it looks weird, the page is mess. And if I click on “show book review” on the dashboard it still takes me to a different page, where the book reviews are and looking good, but I have no clue where it is in the website.
yourdomain.com/book-review/ do not exist. They also do not show on my post page.
Oh, it is working, finally!!!
thank you very much!!!!
ok, I need help again.
I thought everything was working perfectly, the book reviews are on the book reviews page I created. Great. but…
When I click on my posts now, instead of opening the post, it opens the book review page. And now I dont know where my posts are on the website.
Not sure, can you post the URL to your site so I can see what’s going on?
So, your theme is doing some specific stuff to the book review archive page. It’s not all bad, but it does seem to have a few quirks — it did to me anyway.
When I go to http://agonminds.com/book-review/ I see a list of books. Actually, I see a bunch of covers. When I hover over one of the covers, a link icon appears, as well as the book title and author in a sort of caption. The first time I clicked on this caption, I was taken to a different page — not the book review page, but actually another archive page showing me all the books by that book author. By clicking naturally, I apparently clicked on the author’s name rather than the link icon in the middle or the book title.
When I went back to the book list and tried clicking on the link icon or the book title, everything worked normally. So, as far as I can see, the plugin itself is working the way it should, but your theme is adding some stuff that makes it a bit too fancy for its own good. 😉
My suggestion would be to go to the book reviews options page and turn off the “display author with title” feature. This will hide the author from the main book review list, so it just shows the cover and the book title and clicking will send you to the single book review.
I will do what you said, I didnt realize that about the author name. Thank you. DO you think the reason why I can not find my posts is because the book reviews are working as the posts now?
When I open a post on the dashboard it shows “Permalink: http://agonminds.com/book-review/ “
and I can not edit the premalink

I’m not sure what you mean. Book Reviews are NOT “posts”. They aren’t in the regular posts list, they don’t use the same categories or tags, they don’t have the same archive pages. They are a completely different content type. Your theme may not treat them differently than posts because your theme will have generic template files for posts of all post types — like the archive page that I linked to earlier, http://agonminds.com/book-review/. Depending on how your theme was written, archive pages, like that one, may look completely different than your regular post list.
Using the /book-review/ page is simply taking advantage of WordPress’ built-in archive listings for posts of a particular post type — in this case book-review posts — the same way your main blog page is an archive of your blog posts. It’s not a page — in that it doesn’t get created by creating a new page, and therefore isn’t added to menus in the same way other than creating a custom link to that page. This is the same thing as if you wanted to create a menu link to an archive page listing all posts with the “cats” category — your url would be something like mydomain.com/category/cats/. That Cats page isn’t a page, it’s a list of all the posts about cats, with that category, and so if you wanted to add it to a menu, you’d have to do it manually. I’m not sure what you mean that you can’t find the book reviews, because I can go to your site and find them without any problems.
When I open a post on the dashboard it shows “Permalink: http://agonminds.com/book-review/ ” and I can not edit the premalink
Correct. You can change the slug of the permalink for that particular post, but you cannot change or remove the book-review. This is what is telling WordPress that this is a book review and not a post or a page. If you had a review with the URL mydomain.com/book-review/my-book-title/ and you removed the “book-review” part so it was mydomain.com/my-book-title/, WordPress would assume you were looking for a page named my-book-title, and result in a 404 error. This is the same as it would be if you were writing a blog post. Maybe your permalink settings are such that it displays the category or the date before the post title — if either of those were the case, you wouldn’t be able to edit those in the edit permalink function, either, you’d just be able to edit the post slug of the post you are currently editing.
